I'm in the middle of Rogue Clone by Stephen Kent, and it's pretty good so far. Sort of a early Tom Clancy vibe, but little technobabble or jingoism. Set in 2500 too so there are space battles and stuff too.

It's the second book in a trilogy, but I didn't read the first, just borrowed this from the laowai bar here in Xiamen.

I think middle school me managed to survive it by mostly reading the navy seal bits and glossing over the politics.

I still can get quite a bit out of rereading a Cussler. My all time favorite airport books are the Wingman series which is so OTT you can't really take it seriously. The bad guys escalate to white supremacist vikings with submersible longboats at one point.

Can you be more specific? Amazon didn't know what "cussler wingman" was.

Also on the :toot: front, I just optioned the movie rights for the entire Nina and Eddie series!

Did they sign you on a a screenwriter or anything as well? If they ever get made I hope they hew towards following the books, we haven't had many movies that crazy-fun.
